HOLBROOK, Mass. — "Two brothers who work for the Holbrook, Massachusetts, Department of Public Works were arraigned Thursday for allegedly attacking a sleeping homeless man in a town park last month.
"Jesse Baxter, 32, of Holbrook, and Jake Baxter, 28, of Randolph, were charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), assault and battery on a person over the age of 60, and witness intimidation.
"A not guilty plea was entered on their behalf.
"They were arraigned in Quincy District Court, where a judge set $1,500 bail for Jesse and $500 for Jake.
"Both men are expected to post bail and were ordered to stay away from the victim and #BrookvillePark.
"They will return to court for a dangerousness hearing at a later date.
"Both Jesse and Jake have been placed on paid administrative leave from the DPW.
"According to a Holbrook police report, officers responded to the area of Linwood Street overnight on June 20 for a report of an injured man knocking on residents' doors and yelling.
"Responding officers found the man covered in blood and bruises.
"According to the man, he was sleeping in his tent in the Brookville Park area around 12:30 a.m. when he was attacked by two men he didn't know." [Allegedly, they were there to attack a DIFFERENT homeless man that they had an argument with.]
